Annualized returns for Cymbria

Annualized returns for EdgePoint Wealth Management


These are the benchmark indexes we’ve chosen for our portfolios:

EdgePoint Global Portfolio: The MSCI World Index is a market-capitalization-weighted index comprising equity securities available in developed markets globally. The index was chosen as it’s a widely used benchmark of the Global equity market.

EdgePoint Canadian Portfolio: The S&P/TSX Composite Index is a market-capitalization-weighted index comprising the largest and most widely held stocks traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The index was chosen as it’s a widely used benchmark of the Canadian equity market.

EdgePoint Canadian Growth & Income Portfolio: 60% S&P/TSX Composite Index / 40% ICE BofA Canada Broad Market Index. The S&P/TSX Composite Index is a market-capitalization-weighted index comprising the largest and most widely held stocks traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The ICE BofA Canada Broad Market Index tracks the performance of publicly traded investment-grade debt denominated in Canadian dollars and issued in the Canadian domestic market. The blended benchmark was chosen because the former is a widely used benchmark of the Canadian equity market and the latter representative of fixed-income opportunities consistent with the Portfolio’s mandate.

EdgePoint Global Growth & Income Portfolio: 60% MSCI World Index / 40% ICE BofA Canada Broad Market Index. The MSCI World Index is a market-capitalization-weighted index comprising equity securities available in developed markets globally. The ICE BofA Canada Broad Market Index tracks the performance of publicly traded investment grade debt denominated in Canadian dollars and issued in the Canadian domestic market. The blended benchmark was chosen because the former is widely used for the Global equity market and the latter representative of fixed-income opportunities consistent with the Portfolio’s mandate.

EdgePoint Variable Income Portfolio: The iShares U.S. High Yield Bond Index ETF (C$-hedged) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of US$-denominated, high yield corporate bonds. The index was chosen for being a widely used benchmark for high yield corporate debt securities.

Why our performance may not be similar to their benchmarks: We manage our Portfolios independently of the indexes we use as long-term performance comparisons. Differences including security holdings and geographic/sector allocations may impact comparability and could result in periods when our performance differs materially from the index. Additional factors such as credit quality, issuer type and yield may impact fixed-income comparability.

Forward-looking statements

This presentation may contain forward-looking statements including strategy, expected performance and condition. Forward-looking statements include statements that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or that include words such as “expects”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “estimates” or negative versions thereof and similar expressions.

In addition, any statement that may be made concerning future performance, strategies or prospects, and possible future action, is also a forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are inherently subject to, among other things, risks, uncertainties and assumptions about economic factors.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual events and results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements made by EdgePoint. Any number of important factors could contribute to these digressions, including, but not limited to, general economic, political and market factors, interest and foreign exchange rates, global equity and capital markets, business competition, technological change, changes in government regulations, unexpected judicial or regulatory proceedings, and catastrophic events.

We stress that the above-mentioned list of important factors is not exhaustive. We encourage you to consider these and other factors carefully before making any investment decisions and we urge you to avoid placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Further, you should be aware of the fact that we have no specific intention of updating any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, prior to the release of the next Management Report on Fund Performance.

7. The Fund’s expenses are made up of the management fee, operating expenses and trading costs. The series’ annual management fee is a percentage of the series’ value and is determined at the beginning of each calendar quarter in accordance with the schedule of management fee tiers set out in the table . At the beginning of each calendar quarter, the management fee for that quarter is determined with reference to the daily average yield to maturity of the FTSE Canada Universe Bond Index (“Reference Rate”) in the preceding calendar quarter. As a result, the management fee may decrease as interest rates decrease and may increase as interest rates increase, on a trailing calendar quarter basis, in accordance with the management fee tiers set out in the following table.

EdgePoint may, in its discretion, waive a portion of the management fees applicable to any series. If waived, we may discontinue this waiver at any time without notice. Any such waiver would be effected at the beginning of a calendar quarter by charging a series one of the seven existing management fee tiers described in the table that is lower than the fee tier that would otherwise apply.

The daily average yield to maturity of the FTSE Canada Universe Bond Index in the preceding calendar quarter ended March 31, 2022 was 2.50%. Accordingly, the management fee for the second calendar quarter of 2022 should be 0.20% for Series F Units/Series F(N) Units of the EdgePoint Monthly Income Portfolio based on the fee table. EdgePoint has decided to maintain the current management fee of 0.10% throughout 2022, despite changes to the daily average yield to maturity of the FTSE Canada Universe Bond Index.

The index was chosen as it is a widely used benchmark of the Canadian fixed income market. We manage our Portfolios independently of the indexes we use as long-term performance comparisons. Differences including security holdings, credit quality, issuer type and yield may impact fixed-income comparability from the index.

A management fee reduction applies to those investors who have been invested in an EdgePoint Portfolio for 10 or more consecutive years and are currently invested in a qualifying Portfolio and series.
